[How padell.io earns money](https://padell.io/how-we-earn-money/) The short answer The Galactica Pro 2025 is a 365 g hybrid with a 16K carbon face and a Pro EVA core, listed for advanced players. On paper it is a solid, heavy racket with low comfort. No review exists yet and head size is not published. Check the 2026 By Nisse version before you decide. By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 9 October 2026 Choose it if - you are an advanced player who wants a fixed 365 g and a medium balance, not a heavier-headed racket - you hit hard and often, and your arm is used to a stiff carbon face - you want the 2025 spec on paper and are happy to rely on the specs, because no review has been found yet Skip it if - you want a racket that is easy to swing all day. The Dunlop Galactica Lite 2025 weighs 350 to 355 g, with Medium comfort and maneuverability meters - you want a head-heavy racket, because the By Nisse 2026 moved its balance label to High - you want a different carbon face at a similar weight class: look at the Siux Diablo Pro 4 with its 18K Textreme carbon ## How it plays 7.1 **padell.io score 7.1** Play 7.5 (60%) and reviews 6.6 (40%).

The core, face, level, shape and thickness are the same. Three things changed. The weight went from a fixed 365 g to a range of 360 to 375 g. The balance label went from Medium to High. The surface went from Rough to 3D Rough. Whether the pro player link is a real change is unknown. If you want a heavier head, look at the 2026. If you want a fixed weight and a medium balance, the 2025 is the one to check. ## Price history Today **€ 129.95** Lowest in 30 days **€ 124.95** vs 30-day average **0%** Lowest price per day across the shops in your market. Checked every night. Put the Galactica Pro 2025 next to its 2026 successor. The core, the 16K carbon face, the hybrid shape and the 38 mm profile are the same. Three things moved: the weight, the surface and the balance. That is the story of this racket, and it starts with a gap. No review of the 2025 version has been found yet. Everything below comes from the specs and from what they suggest on court. ## Fixed 365 g, then 360 to 375 g: what the By Nisse 2026 changes The 2025 racket is listed at 365 g, with the same number as minimum and maximum. So you get one weight, not a range. That is heavy, and it is the main reason the maneuverability meter reads Low. At the net, in fast exchanges, you will want a strong shoulder and a short swing. The By Nisse 2026 is listed from 360 to 375 g. That spread means two rackets of the same model can differ in your hand. If you like to know exactly what you buy, the fixed 365 g is a small plus for the 2025. The Galactica family Same year, from most power (left) to most control (right) **Pro** [**Team**](https://padell.io/rackets/dunlop/galactica-team-2025/) [**Lite**](https://padell.io/rackets/dunlop/galactica-lite-2025/) [**OS Lite**](https://padell.io/rackets/dunlop/galactica-os-lite/) ## Medium balance becomes High: the label that moved and the one you cannot measure The retailer lists the 2025 balance as Medium. The 2026 version is listed as High. A label is not a measurement. The balance in millimetres is not published for this racket, so you cannot say how far the weight sits toward the head. What you can say is the direction: the successor is listed as more head-heavy. What does that mean for you? A medium balance usually keeps the racket stable without dragging the head. A higher balance tends to add push on smashes and bandejas, at the cost of a slower wrist. If you want that, see the [By Nisse 2026](https://padell.io/rackets/dunlop/galactica-pro-by-nisse-2026/) or run the [direct comparison](https://padell.io/compare/dunlop-galactica-pro-by-nisse-2026-vs-dunlop-galactica-pro-2025/). The surface also changed from Rough to 3D Rough, which is a changed label, nothing more. ## 16K carbon over Pro EVA: why control and power read Medium but comfort reads Low The 16K carbon face is stiff. The Pro EVA core is medium. The face raises control and power, and so does the hybrid shape. The same face lowers comfort, and so does the heavy weight. The medium core pulls the other way, but not enough to turn Low into Medium. In plain words: this racket gives you a firm, direct hit and passes more of it to your arm. If you have a sensitive elbow, take that seriously. A lighter frame with a soft core would be kinder. ## Medium-high or Medium: where the product page and the retailer sheet disagree The product page calls the balance medium-high. The retailer sheet says Medium. Both cannot be exact, and the millimetre figure that would settle it is not published. This page uses the retailer label. The product page also claims great comfort, great control and minimal vibration. Treat that as marketing. The comfort meter on paper reads Low. The same text also mentions an LS model and a Tri-Max technology. Neither matches this listing. So it is not a clean source for this racket. ## Advanced, no review and no head size: what the sheet leaves open The level is listed as Advanced. Head area, frame, handle and weight system are not published. So you do not know how large the face is, and the Low sweet spot meter has no stated reason behind it. That matters most for a hybrid, since hybrids sit between the forgiving round and the powerful diamond. With no review, there is also no word on how it ages, how it sounds or how stable it is off-centre. If you can, try it before you buy. ## Galactica Pro 2025, Siux Diablo Pro 4 or Siux Pegasus GV Edition: picking your heavy hybrid The [Siux Diablo Pro 4](https://padell.io/rackets/siux/diablo-pro-4/) is also a 2025 Advanced hybrid, with Medium balance and the same 38 mm thickness. It uses an 18K Textreme carbon face and is listed from 355 to 375 g. Its meters match the Dunlop's. The [Siux Pegasus GV Edition](https://padell.io/rackets/siux/pegasus-gv-edition/) is a hybrid at the same level with a 24K Twill Silver Carbon face and a published balance of 265 mm. If you want a number to check against your arm, that helps. Pick the Galactica Pro 2025 when the fixed 365 g and the 16K face appeal. Pick one of the Siux rackets when you want a different face or a published balance figure.

The 2026 is listed with a High balance, a 3D Rough surface and a weight range of 360 to 375 g. The 2025 is a fixed 365 g with Medium balance. **Is it comfortable for the arm?** On paper, not especially. The comfort meter reads Low because of the stiff 16K carbon face and the heavy weight class. The medium Pro EVA core helps a little. No reviewer has reported on it yet. **What level is it for?** The retailer lists it as Advanced. The heavy weight and the Low sweet spot meter point the same way: this is not a first racket. **How does it compare with the Siux Diablo Pro 4?** Both are Advanced 2025 hybrids with Medium balance and 38 mm thickness, and their meters match. The Siux has an 18K Textreme carbon face and a listed weight of 355 to 375 g, against the Dunlop's fixed 365 g. **Is the Galactica Pro 2025 worth the money right now?** Today's price is labelled "Good value" compared with the rackets that play most alike. Which shops deliver, and what shipping costs, depends on your country. The price comparison shows it for yours. See all prices **What is the closest alternative?** The Siux Pegasus GV Edition plays most alike. On paper the differences are under one point. Today: € 127.95. [Compare side by side →](https://padell.io/compare/siux-pegasus-gv-edition-vs-dunlop-galactica-pro-2025/) **Who should not buy it?** Skip it if your elbow or shoulder complains (comfort 4.0/10), or if you are still learning: it is not very forgiving (5.0/10). **How heavy is it really?** The brand gives 365 g. That counts as medium. Each racket can differ within that range. [Why a range? →](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/)
